Testimonial

“Our Benefit Committee was on the fence last year about having music at our spring cocktail event— would it overwhelm? go unnoticed?—but Morgan and her musicians won over everyone in the room that night. Over the course of two hours, she delivered exactly the right balance of sound and styles, and was tremendously engaging to boot. There was no question about a return engagement this year. Morgan is as warm as she is professional, as easygoing as she is talented.”

Testimonial

“We hired The Golden Estate House Band for our annual family Christmas party, and WOW - did we hit the jackpot! The energy was so positive, and the vibe was charming and classy. They started with traditional holiday music to set the tone and as the evening wore on, everyone was dancing and singing to a thoughtful and impressive array of multiple genres. We were treated to many classics which were uniquely performed with the musicians putting their own special touch on, and the family is still raving about. We will reminisce about this night for decades to come, in no small part due to Morgan and her ensemble, and all are overjoyed to learn they will be returning to entertain us again at Christmas 2024! If you are looking for professional, talented, fun, unique and just all-around great people to entertain you, call them. You will not be disappointed.”

Testimonial

"If you're someone who appreciates amazing music, great people, and a well-run business, you have to book Golden State Entertainment for your event. The House Band played at our wedding and contributed to a perfect night! Our guests shared rave reviews, as well, saying that they could not believe how great Morgan and the band were. It's clear that our wedding will be remembered for "the great music" for many years to come. Working with Morgan and the team was an awesome experience from the day we met through the end of the wedding. The band is flexible, talented, willing to learn new songs, and they genuinely wanted to help make the event a fun and memorable one. Hopefully, this is our only wedding, but we would love to book the band for any other events that come up! We mean every word - they deserve a ton of props and recognition. They are seriously amazing!"
